Still, with Pochettino possibly set to sign a new contract with Spurs in the summer, Chelsea are reported to be keeping an eye on his situation, according to the Telegraph.

Despite minimal finances compared to the rest of the top six, Pochettino has made Tottenham consistent Premier League title challengers and cemented their place in the top four, delivering Champions League football for what looks like being three seasons in a row.
